Fenugreek
Fenugreek essential oil was an ingredient in the ancient, sacred Egyptian temple incense called Kyphi.
In Asian countries, fenugreek is associated with the attraction of money and success. Its warm aroma provides a grounding energy, easing hypnotherapy and supporting the return from altered states of consciousness.
Inhaling it increases focus and mental clarity.

Observations and Anecdotal Information
We are delighted to offer this rare fenugreek CO2 extract from a medicinal seed that has been in use for over 4,000 years in Arabian, Greek, Indian, Egyptian, and Chinese herbalism.
Used internally, fenugreek CO2 extract lowers excess blood sugar. It helps appetite loss, indigestion, dyspepsia, bronchitis, fever, hernia, impotence, vomiting, congestion in the respiratory tract, and stomach ulcers.
It contains plant hormones similar to estrogen, which can effectively help balance hormones in women.
Fenugreek has a history of treating diarrhea and gastrointestinal spasms. For adults with diarrhea, taking one to 3 drops of fenugreek extract in water and honey three times daily often produces a quick and reliable relief, often after only a few doses.
A study from India gave ground up fenugreek seed powder to Type I diabetic patients. Not only did their fasting blood sugar fall and their glucose tolerance improve, but their blood cholesterol also went down. Israeli scientists have confirmed this result. Many animal studies have also documented the same.
More studies established anti-inflammatory effects of the seeds, and strong activity against abnormal growths, implying that fenugreek provides increased protection toward tumors and some forms of cancer. It is mild acting and can be used on a long term basis without negative effects.
